Bite sized tater tots are delicious and convenient, but a lot of people prefer the restaurant-style hash browns that require a fork. If you're sitting down for a nice breakfast at home, it's surprisingly easy to make these fancier hash browns on a waffle iron.

For such a specific appliance, the waffle iron is surprisingly versatile. As One Good Thing by Jillee points out, all you have to do is toss some frozen tater tots onto your waffle iron, and press them for three or four minutes. Once they're done cooking, they should have formed together into a perfect patty. While you have the waffle iron pulled out, you could also use it to make no-fuss pizza pockets and cinnamon rolls.
